    The Party won’t.

    My hope is that a lot of Party members do, though. It’d be nice if progressives stopped trying to do entryism into the Democrats.

      I expect that will happen. When Bernie campaign failed, it was an eye opener for a lot of people that the game is rigged and radicalized them further to the left.

        If the smug gaslighting from the Adults in the Room about the reasons for Sanders’ two campaigns failing didn’t radicalize someone, I thought nothing ever could. But this election failure might.

          Also worth noting that the material conditions have declined significantly since Sanders ran. A lot more people are now seeing their own living standards declining, making it easier for them to realize the problems in the system.

      Have you read Marxist theory? This is 100% in line with the Marxist view of Electoral Politics. I keep a “Read Theory, Darn It!” beginner reading list, complete with audiobooks, if you’re interested but don’t know where to start.

    Hmm, it sure is nice to hear someone eloquently put into coherent order the words and ideas that I ruminate on with regularity.
